Last time I left the doctor, I was healthy. He was happy and so was I.

Then a year later, I'm still healthy, but needing help in another area.

Went for the yearly pap and found out that my iron levels are about the point where I'll need a blood transfusion and hematologist consultation. OY!

Doctor said the normal levels are 20-50 and I am at a 3. Oy ke va!
A 16 would have been kosher.

So I am on iron supplements for a three month stretch before they do a re-test. Yea, anemia is no fun. I didn't really feel sick, just a bit exhausted. I thought that was normal getting old thing. Or monthly dealing with it thing.

But now we now.

*****
My daughter scored the only goal for her soccer team, but they still lost 2-1. She is still super psyched. She said, she realize, they must at least score one :) And she and the team did work so very hard at it. I'm proud of her.

*****
My son's team worked hard and won. He too is excited that he was able to snag a goal in there too. Then he went for a camping night with a friend from school. He had much fun and can't stop talking about the experience!

****
While the bubz were away at camping, the baby love and I did grocery shopping, ate together and share a treat. She was a bit peeved not to have any where to hang out with friends. I reminded her to be glad for her brother and to also pray for a good friend or two so she can have those experiences again.

I'm trying to be hopeful for the future. I would like to go back to school and be able to get a good job. But I need credits for college, money and I'm sure I can find the time.

Anyway, God is good.

I have another friend that has anemia. She goes to a clinic regularly to get an iron boost every once in a while. Maybe your doctor can do the same thing for you. Congratulations to your kids for scoring goals in their soccer games! You must be proud. Have a great week!

I've had anemia in the past, it's something my doctor keeps an eye on. I have to take iron supplements once a month, and make sure I eat iron rich foods (like lots of spinach!) :) Hope yours gets taken care of and under control - it's no fun being fatigued!

Way to go on the goal scores! Totally proud moments. aAnd I love that quote you posted - so very true!!

LOVE Bryan Adams, and LOVE that song! Thanks for the dance - have a great week! :)

Bryan Williams tune I haven't heard it in like forever. Great choice sweetie. You better listen to your doctor & try on your own if you can to get that level up, you hear me..... or you're grounded!!!!!! hmph......

Thanks So Much for Sharing a Part of Your Life with Us, I Can Really Relate to You! I Don't Have Anemia but I Know When You Have Low Iron Levels it Can Drain All of Your Energy and I Know How That Feels! I Was in a Bad Motorcycle Accident and I Now HVe Really Bad Chronic Pain So I Know How it Feels to Be Fatigued! Well Thanks Again for Sharing and I Hope God Will Keep You Healthy & Happy! Have a Blessed Evening! - Jana
